After 4 years of sobriety I started drinking again, at first it was the occasional drink here and there, next thing I know I’m waking up with massive hangovers and the familiar feelings of shame and disappointment. That’s not who I want to be, and not how I want to live. I’m back in recovery and thankful I didn’t destroy my life or family.

All is well
Welcome back. Congratulations on coming back 
I’m finding myself in a similar feeling.
I went back out after 2.5 years. It was so easy to fall right back into old drinking habits. Here’s to us though for finding our way back

…I will hit 3 years in January…I am not wanting to drink…while the other day…had this terrible feeling…like, as in questioning…will I screw up?
I do not feel that I will…while we have to be so NOT complacent.
Thanking each of you for the shares.

Proud of you for getting back to recovery
I'm in agreement that you're DRINKING AND USING CAREER HAS BEEN RUINED AND RECOVERY HAS BECOME VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU. Thing is. When A person goes out with time. It really isn't a Relapse. A person thought about it before they did it. . TOUGH LOVE. WHEN A PERSON GOES OUT WITH TIME. THERE IS SOMETHING THEY WERE AVOIDING... LET'S GET DOWN TO CAUSES AND CONDITIONS. LET'S LOOK AT THE ROOT CAUSE. IS WE SAY WE HAVE A SPIRITUAL MALADY... LIKE THE DOCTORS OPINION SUGGESTS. THEN WE REALLY NEED TO ENHANCE OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. I ENCOURAGE YOU
